Getting Started (Hookups cont.)
15
If you have either an external or internal (rabbit ears) antenna rather than cable, you may have
300 ohm connectors like these:
In this case, you will need special adapters to make the 75 ohm round wire connection shown
below. (You may already have one on your TV.)
1. Remove the antenna line from the back of your TV if it is already connected there, or take it
from where it comes in on the wall.
2. Considering the three pictures below, determine which adapter you will need to hook it into
your VCR.
If you have Use this adapter
Single 300 ohm flat wire
Separate UHF and VHF
antenna wires, both 300 ohm flat wire
300 ohm flat UHF and 75 ohm
round VHF
If you have "rabbit ears" (an antenna on top of your TV), you will need an additional adapter
and 75 ohm extension to make your leads reach from the antenna to the VCR. This connection
will work only if you have a strong, clear picture on the TV, indicating a strong signal. Connect
the antenna to the adapter, and use the cable extension to go from the adapter to the VCR.
Use the supplied 75 ohm cable to connect the VCR to the TV.
